Re: How long does STROBJCVN take?

Persistence pays off on message CPDB0E2. I noticed that there's 3 or 4
screen fulls of blank space before it finally tells you the object name.

Message ID . . . . . . : CPDB0E2 Severity . . . . . . . : 20
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 05/01/08 Time sent . . . . . . : 14:03:40


Message . . . . : Errors occurred while converting object type *SRVPGM.

Cause . . . . . : Errors occurred while converting an object using the
Start
Object Conversion(STROBJCVN) command.
If the object is an integrated file system object, then object *N

, was being

converted.
For all other objects, object WEBSRV in library WEB, was being
converted.
If *N appears for any fields, then this information does not apply.
See the previously listed messages in the job log.
Recovery . . . : Correct the errors and then run the STROBJCVN command

again, or use the appropriate object specific method to convert it.
-- For files use the Open Data Base File (OPNDBF) command on each
member
in the file.

-- For programs use the Change Program (CHGPGM) command specifying
*YES
for force recreation (FRCCRT).
-- For service programs use the Change Service Program (CHGSRVPGM)
command
specifying *YES for force re-creation (FRCCRT).
-- For modules use the Change Module (CHGMOD) command specifying *YES
for
force re-creation (FRCCRT).
-- For SQL object conversion including *PGM, *SRVPGM, and *SQLPKG
objects
use the Print SQL Information (PRTSQLINF) command.
-- For Java objects use the Change Java Program (CHGJVAPGM) command.

The CHGPGM, CHGSRVPGM, and CHGMOD commands require creation data to be

present and observable. STROBJCVN requires all creation data to be
present
but it does not require creation data to be observable.

Apparently the concept of trimming down variable &4 of DSPMSGD CPDB0E2
never dawned on them.
